  1. Re:Birds do this too on Singing Dolphins Do Batman · · Score: 1

    I used to have a blackbird that would routinely pirch on my television aerial, about five metres from my window. Right show-off. He didn't stop with ring-tones and car-alarms, oh no, he'd nicked a ruddy fax machine and learnt that off by heart as well. I'm sure I he stood up there negotiating PPP connections. With apologies to the Wurzels:

    Where be it Blackbird to?
    I know where he be,
    He be up yon aerial,
    And I be after he!
    Now I sees he, And he sees I,
    Bugger'd if I don't get 'en
    Wit a thousand volts, I'll knock 'im down
    Blackbird, I'll 'ave thee!

    Dunno. I think the JWs get a bit of a bad rep; they're not scary like scientology or violent like certain adherents of certain other religions. When they knock on my door, I ask them if they'd like to switch to my religion (The Church of The Holy ettlz) instead.

    JW. [Blah, blah, blah, benefits, regular magazine for members etc.] 140,000 true believers will ascend to Heaven and reign along side God.
    THe. And how many Jehovah's Witnesses are there in the world?
    JW. Over six million.
    THe. See a problem there?
    JW. Oh shit.

    OK, shouldn't bite. But will. ISA as in the current PC industry standard architecture (no caps). Not the bus.

  7. Re:NDISWrapper on Code Execution Bug In Broadcom Wi-Fi Driver · · Score: 5, Informative
    Broadcom users on Linux should really be using the bcm43xx kernel module by now.
    Anyway the flaw wouldnt affect Linux systems. Why? Different kernel.
    NDISWrapper executes the Windows Kernel Mode NDIS driver in the Linux kernel's address space. So it might still result in code injection. It might even extend to FreeBSD when running bcmwl5.sys under its equivalent as well.

    So it should really go:

    Enter BSD.
    BSD. Hey guys.
    Mac. Hey.

    There is a pause. PC looks at Mac. Mac looks back at PC. They both pull evil grins, and then pounce.
    Cut to fuckwitted, oh-aren't-we-clever message. Unseen, we hear roaring and BSD screaming.

    Those are terribly dumbass parodies. The sound of a bottle opening says it all: too drunk to be truly funny. Fact it, MaxOS X looks more like BSD than Linux ever has done. I guess it just goes to show that the average computer-using dolt only cares about superficialities. ("They both run FVWM! Same shit, dude!")

  22. Read COPYING on Dvorak On Microsoft/Novell Deal · · Score: 3, Insightful
    the idea is to create some sort of code that is jammed into Linux and whose sole purpose is to let some proprietary code run under Linux without actually "touching" Linux in any way that would subject the proprietary code to the GPL. This would include mechanisms that alter the internals of Linux without having to publish the code and changes as open-source or allow them to be used by others, as is required by the GPL.

    i.e., what nVidia and ATi have been doing for years now?
